Card is fine. Not amazing, but unique ability and only printed in Commander decks? Yep, couple that with someone running a copy to an SCG win? Prices shall rise.

What is Edric realistically up to? SCG is only sold out at the old price.

Bet he hovers around 10. (assuming that the deck he is a 3 of in doesnt become insane out of nowhere)

TCGplayer mid price went from $5ish up until April 8th where the buyout started and jumped the mid to $12 and then $27 April 9th, now it's at $20.50. I think there are more Edrics in circulation then there is actual player demand to be running Noble Fish or Rill's Grixis deck, but Levin tweeted indicating it was a good spec target in addition to the press the two decks have gotten. I wouldn't be surprised if the market evens out a bit as a few more days pass. That said Scavenging Ooze was a $30-40 card of similar release quantity when in demand as a 2-3 of in a couple archetypes. Flusterstorm has only climbed from $10-25 over the past couple years. I could see Edric evening out to 15-20ish soon, and then slowly climbing, barring a reprint.

I feel a bit of actual camera time in an Open series could make a world of difference to his price too. Rill didn't show the card doing much. From Bahra's streamed videos I've seen a bit more of its power level. Seeing the card winning games rather than just being part of a winning list is something.

Is there a reason City of Traitors is $95 on tcg?

Something Something Reserve list, something something STaple.

Can't play the format without mana.

I guess speculators realized that and go for maximum price gauging now.

That, or somebody is actually trying to kill the format now by closing the bottleneck which are mana bases.

Fuck it. Just really just fuck it.
It's going to be, the only way new people get into Legacy is with new decks. They'll print a bunch of cards over time which live in the pocket of Abrupt Decay; makes sure to hurt all that undercosted goodness in Legacy, doesn't affect Standard's whole "life begins at 4 mana" thing, and so even with their shitty mana bases they'll struggle through until they can win one of the vaunted 100-dollar-a-pop old border lands and slowly maybe get a playset of 'something'.

You'll see these tourney reports like "just got my second Bayou, so I'm feeling really good about this event. Game One I sit across from this dude and I laff because I know this guy is too new to have any good land spells in his pile"

Meh. Crying about mana bases when you could have bought CoT for $30 a couple of years ago is pathetic.

Or Wasteland for $30 about 6 months ago.

Or 4 wastelands for 2e in 2003, the sold them for 20 in Gp rimini. Mad profits.

Didn't buy more cuz why not.

Well god dammit I have Wastelands too, but for my part I'm talking about newjacks who haven't even discovered the game yet and they go "Oh cool, I can buy a playset of {some land} for $400+/set or I can get four boxes of new things? GOSH DECISIONS"

I guess the pimp thread is now any manabase.

Exactly. though to be fair it is the BITCHING thread, so bitch on. But if you were playing legacy 3 years ago and didn't get a set of

- Wastelands
- Sol lands
- fetchlands

you fucked up and now you must ... SUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFER

And I thought that picking up my wastelands for 50 was rough.

I heard during the Q&A at PAX East today that it was stated that fetchlands will be printed sometime in the future, though. I would agree with your quote but sub in dual lands.

I have all the blue ones except Tropical Island. Unfortunately I think that's all I'll ever have. I may chase down one Trop Island for my URx Landstill Vintage deck at somepoint though (although I'm favoring the black splash at the moment... it would be nice to have access to a Trop for ANT as well. Too bad Bazaars and Mana Drains are higher on my priority list at the moment).

I'm honestly getting sick and fucking tired of the prices on cards jacking up the way they have. It actually pisses me off to no end.
